The Smith Manoeuvre ™️ in the Media
Robinson Smith, financial educator, speaker and best-selling author of Master Your Mortgage for Financial Freedom is available for media interviews and speaking engagements. Please contact info@smithman.net.
In 2006, Robinson Smith returned from China where he was working in investment banking, to Victoria to work with his father, Fraser, the financial strategist who pioneered The Smith Manoeuvre ™️. After joining his father at the advisory, Robinson helped over 500 families implement the strategy one at a time.
In 2018, Robinson sold his investment advisory practice in order to write the follow-up to his father’s original book and reach even more Canadians. Robinson now dedicates his time writing, speaking and training both homeowners and financial professionals in The Smith Manoeuvre ™️ strategy in order to continue on with his father’s original mission to give every Canadian homeowner the opportunity to say “yes” to the question, “Do you want to make your mortgage tax deductible?” Robinson has appeared on television, radio, personal finance blogs and has spoken in front of the general homeowning public and to financial professionals.
His new book on the strategy, Master Your Mortgage for Financial Freedom, and the accompanying Smithman Calculator as well as several courses for homeowners and financial professionals, will be released in the Fall of 2019.
He lives in Victoria, BC, with his wife, Heidi, and their dog, Harley.

Rational Reminder Podcast
The Rational Reminder Podcast is hosted by Ben Felix and Cameron Passmore. Considering these two gents are portfolio managers at PWL Capital, it’s safe to say they know their stuff. “The Smith Manoeuvre was developed by Fraser Smith as a smart way for Canadians to convert a traditional, non-deductible mortgage into a deductible mortgage by systematically re-borrowing to invest. Today we are joined by Fraser’s son, Robinson, to talk about the Manoeuvre, his father’s legacy and explain how you can use it to your financial advantage. For the last part of our conversation, Robinson gives us some examples from The Smithman Calculator, illustrating just how effective the system can be! Join us on the Rational Reminder Podcast today, to get it all!”

ExploreFI Canada - Case Study
ExploreFI Canada is a trio of self-described ‘Financial Independence Fanatics’ and their guests and followers stem from a diverse range of backgrounds with one thing in common: they are all intent on achieving financial independence as young as possible. On this episode, we go through a case study using the actual numbers of Ryan, one of the hosts, to look at the financial opportunity lost (but lessons learned…) due to focusing on paying out the mortgage instead of converting it from non-deductible debt to deductible debt. I think Ryan almost cries at one point.
Financial Independence Garage
“I have been on the Financial Independence journey for a few years and I have a Financial Freedom date indelibly etched on my brain. I repeat it daily to keep the obsession front of mind. Being mortgage free is an absolute requirement and this podcast is a game changer. I’ve heard of the Smith Manoeuvre ™️ before but regrettably never explored it. I wasn’t in that FI mind set, and you don’t know what you don’t know. But now I know and need to know more. This is a podcast that I will need to listen to a few more times to really comprehend the power of this strategy. This is a book that I will be buying and adding to my FI library. Thanks for bringing Robinson on your show and keep up the good work”. – R.H., Saskatchewan
